Winterfest

Station Maine carved ice this weekend.  Winterfest in Camden makes it possible for groups and individuals to learn this skill for just the cost of the block of ice.  If one intends to be a chef this is the skill that can make all the difference in catering an event.  For the rest of us it is a reminder, once again, of who we are.  Mainers.  We live in the north.  You don’t see many ice carving events in North Carolina. 

For the youth of Station Maine Winterfest more than reinforced this strength of cultural identity.  Ice carving put another skill in their young hands.  Another opportunity to say “I can”.  Another reason to walk taller.  A deeper sense of belonging that is offered by a community who understands education in a sense so much deeper than standardized tests.
